Web Design, SEO & Google Business Profile Management in Hawaii
Three services, one standard: work you'd be proud to put your name on. Every engagement is handled directly by the studio — no outsourcing, no account managers, no handoffs.
Web Design
Your website is the first employee most customers ever meet. If it looks like a template, loads slowly, or reads like it was written by nobody in particular, they assume the same about your business — and they're gone before you know they visited.
We design from a blank page, around your business specifically: who your customers are, what convinces them, and what you want them to do. Then we build it by hand — clean code, fast on mobile, structured so search engines and AI systems actually understand what you offer. No themes bent out of shape. No page-builder bloat.
And we don't disappear after launch. Websites that get abandoned stop earning. Maintenance is part of the relationship: your site stays current, secure, and improving as your business grows.
What's included
- Discovery call & positioning
- Custom design — no templates
- Hand-built, fast-loading pages
- Mobile-first, built to pass Core Web Vitals
- On-page SEO foundations
- Launch checklist & go-live
- Maintenance plan — flat monthly fee
SEO & AEO
Search is changing faster than most agencies want to admit. Your customers still Google you — but a growing share of them now ask ChatGPT, or take whatever Google's AI Overview says at face value. If your business isn't in those answers, you don't exist for that customer.
We optimize for both worlds. Classic SEO: technical health, on-page optimization, local Hawaii keyword targeting, content that matches what people actually search. And AEO — Answer Engine Optimization: structured data, authoritative content, and a site architecture that AI systems can read, understand, and cite when someone asks who to trust.
Reporting comes in plain English. You'll know what moved, what didn't, and what we're doing about it — not a 40-page PDF of graphs nobody reads.
What's included
- Technical SEO audit & fixes
- On-page optimization
- Local keyword targeting
- Structured data & schema
- AEO — optimization for AI answers
- Content recommendations
- Plain-English monthly reporting
Google Business Profile
For a local business, your Google Business Profile is often seen more than your website — it's what shows up when someone searches your name, your service, or "near me." An empty or neglected profile costs you calls every single week, and most owners never see it happening.
We claim it, verify it, and build it out properly: the right categories, complete services, photos that don't look like an afterthought. Then we keep it alive — regular updates and posts, review strategy, and monthly insight into how many people found you, called you, or asked for directions.
The profiles we manage each draw over 200 views a month — real local customers, looking at a profile that's actually working.
What's included
- Profile claim, setup & verification
- Category & service optimization
- Photo strategy & curation
- Regular posts & updates
- Review response guidance
- Monthly insights reporting
Fair questions, straight answers.
How long does a website take to build?
Most sites launch in three to six weeks, depending on scope. The timeline is set on the first call and tracked openly — you always know what stage your project is in.
What is AEO?
AEO — Answer Engine Optimization — is how your business gets cited when customers ask AI tools like ChatGPT or Google's AI Overviews for recommendations. It builds on classic SEO: structured data, clear authoritative content, and a site AI systems can read and trust.
Do you only work with Hawaii businesses?
No. The studio is based in Honolulu, but we design, build, and manage sites for businesses across the United States. Everything is handled remotely with the same process either way.
What does maintenance include?
Updates, edits, security patches, uptime monitoring, and small improvements as your business changes — handled for a flat monthly fee, so your site never quietly rots.
Why are there no prices on the site?
Because scope drives price, and every business needs a different scope. A short call is enough to understand what you're trying to grow, and we follow it with a written quote for the actual work — no generic menu pricing.
Tell us what you're trying to grow.
Fifteen minutes. No pressure. Honest direction either way.
